Eagle vs. Shark
Over the weekend, I watched the rather amusing movie, Eagle vs. Shark (2007), directed by Taika Waititi and starring Jemaine Clement. A succinct way to sum up the movie: a romantic comedy with odd humor similar to Napoleon Dynamite (2004) (but Eagle vs. Shark is WAY funnier in my opinion). My favorite part was probably the make out session between Jarrod (Eagle) and Lily (Shark) in animal costumes...
BBC Radio Show
I was lucky enough to find a gently used copy of the Flight of the Conchords BBC Radio Show (2006) 3-CD set and started listening to it this morning. It's been fun comparing the radio show storyline to the subsequent HBO TV show plot, making mental notes about the subtle differences etc. For example, while Brian Nesbitt (FOTC Manager on the radio show) and Murray Hewitt (FOTC Manager on the HBO show)are both played by Rhys Darby, I keep having to remind myself of who Brian is when a character (other than Brian) mentions his name...Then I remember Brian = Murray = Rhys Darby.
FOTC Quiz (Pending on FunTrivia)
I wrote a 10-question FOTC quiz (topics drawn from various episodes of the HBO show) and am patiently waiting for its acceptance. When it is posted to the site, I will provide a link...
